Sunday night’s 69th Primetime Emmy Awards reflected the diversity of the television landscape as well as the current political climate.
Hosted by Stephen Colbert from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, the TV awards show also highlighted the work of women in the medium.
It was a big night for Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” which took home five awards (after winning three at last week’s Creative Arts Emmys).
Elisabeth Moss won her first Emmy for her role in the dystopian series, which was named the best drama. Moss is also a producer on the series.
“It’s been an incredible year for women in television, bringing women to the front of their own stories and making them heroes,” said Reese Witherspoon, while accepting the award for HBO’s “Big Little Lies,” which was named best limited series.
Oscar winner Witherspoon was a producer of the series, as was co-star Nicole Kidman, who was named best actress in the category.
“Reese, I share this with you,” said Kidman, accepting the award. Kidman also said the series was meant “to shine a light on domestic abuse.”
HBO’s “Veep” was named best comedy for the third year in a row, and its star, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, made Emmy history as she won the outstanding comedy actress category for playing Selina Meyer, a vapid politician. It was the actress’ sixth consecutive Emmy and set the record for most Emmys won by a performer in the same role for the same series. She also tied Cloris Leachman for the most Emmys ever won by a female performer.
Next season will be the last for “Veep” and Louis-Dreyfus noted that they had planned “a whole storyline about an impeachment but we abandoned that because we thought somebody might get to it first,” joking about President Trump.
That reflected the politics that bubbled up throughout the show.
Host Stephen Colbert came out punching with a song that referenced many of the successes of TV this year — and the ills in the world. “Troubles aren’t so troubling in HD. Everything is better on TV.”
“We binge ourselves tonight,” he joked, then turned serious to thank Hurricane Harvey and Irma first responders and make a plea for support to aid victims.
“It can’t be denied that the biggest star of last year was Donald Trump — and Alec Baldwin,” he joked, referring to the actor who parodied the president on “Saturday Night Live.”
Sterling K. Brown was named best actor in a drama for NBC ensemble “This Is Us.” Brown is the first black actor to win in that category since Andre Braugher on “Homicide” in 1998.
Riz Ahmed was named best actor in a limited series for HBO’s “The Night Of,” playing a Muslim student wrongly accused of murder. He gave a shout-out to his co-star and competitor John Turturro and acknowledged James Gandolfini, who was originally to star in the series before his death.
The expected “Stranger Things” victory in drama did not happen, while Emmy voters opted for HBO’s power. The cable network was easily the overall winner.
Still, the streaming service had some moments.
The awards opened with a sixth Emmy win for veteran actor John Lithgow, who played Winston Churchill in Netflix’s “The Crown.”
Netflix’s trippy sci-fi series “Black Mirror” picked up two Emmys in the limited series category for the time-traveling episode called “San Junipero.” Series creator Charlie Brooker also won for writing it.
Donald Glover, the creator-writer-star of FX’s “Atlanta,” was a double-winner. He took home the prize for directing a comedy and was named best actor in the category.
“I want to thank Trump for making black people number one on the most oppressed list. He’s the reason I’m probably up here,” he said when accepting the best actor in a comedy series.
Laura Dern picked up her first Emmy for “Big Little Lies” for best supporting actress in a limited series. In accepting, she thanked “the incredible tribe of fierce women” involved in the show. Alexander Skarsgard, who played a wife-beating husband on the show, was named best supporting actor in the category, while Jean-Marc Vallée (“Dallas Buyers Club,” “Wild”) won as best director of a limited series.
“Last Week Tonight with John Oliver” won both best variety series and outstanding writing in a variety series for the second year in a row.
“You would think it would be easier for the writers because of all that’s going on, but it isn’t,” said Oliver, accepting for his staff. His wins meant that Colbert’s “Late Show” was shut out.
The wins for “The Handmaid’s Tale” included Reed Morano, who was named best director for a drama. She became only the second woman to take home the prize.
Veteran actress Ann Dowd was named best supporting actress in a drama series, and Bruce Miller won the prize for best writing for a drama.
WASHINGTON — David Letterman was never known as a particularly political comedian, preferring a detached irony-drenched tone that favored the surreal and silly over topical humor. But there was an unmistakable political tint to much of Sunday night’s ceremony to present Letterman with the Mark Twain award for American humor.
Several of the comedians honoring Letterman took shots at President Donald Trump and the general state of the country. More than one comedian quipped that the Kennedy Center’s funding was about to be cut off mid-show. Meanwhile, the center announced that Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos was a Kennedy Center benefactor.
Kimmel jokingly blamed Letterman for helping to bring Trump to power.
“It’s like you went out for cigarettes one day and left us in the hands of our abusive, orange stepfather,” Kimmel quipped.
He praised Letterman profusely, recalling a monologue he delivered on his show shortly after the 9/11 attack.
“You let us know it was OK to move on and OK to laugh again,” Kimmel said. “Dave, you led the way for all of us.”
But Kimmel also noted that in that same monologue, Letterman offered glowing praise to then-New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, who went on to become a vocal public Trump supporter.
“Well Dave, we all make mistakes sometimes,” Kimmel said.
Comedian-turned-Senator Al Franken thanked Letterman for a post-retirement series of videos that he and Letterman recorded together designed to raise awareness on climate change. Comedians Martin Short and Steve Martin, a previous Mark Twain honoree, needled Letterman about his bushy white retirement beard with a line touching on the country’s current divisive political atmosphere.
“Dave has always had excellent instincts. What better time than now to choose to look like a Confederate war general,” Steve Martin said.
Speakers Sunday night included comedians John Mulaney, Amy Schumer and Jimmie Walker of the 1970s television series “Good Times.” Walker gave Letterman one of his first jobs as a joke writer in Hollywood.
Schumer poked fun at Letterman’s famed reputation for grumpiness, saying she performed on his show three times.
“By the end of my third appearance, Dave was no longer totally indifferent to me,” she said.
Mulaney credited Letterman’s appeal with his determination to mine humor from ordinary people, and occasionally their pets.
“The Johnny Carson show said, ‘Take a break from your weird life and watch these famous people have fun in show business,'” Mulaney said. “Dave’s show said, ‘Your weird life is just as funny as show business.'”
The 70-year-old Letterman spent 33 years on late-night TV, hosting long-running shows on NBC and then on CBS. His final broadcast on May 20, 2015, was episode No. 6028 that Letterman hosted. It shattered the record of his mentor, Carson.
Former First Lady Michelle Obama sent in a video tribute and Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder thanked Letterman for being a longtime “friend to music” and performed the song “Keep Me in Your Heart” by the late Warren Zevon, a Letterman favorite.
Letterman’s run on NBC in particular was hugely influential, introducing a sardonic, smartly silly comedic style that influenced a generation.
His time slot immediately following Carson’s “The Tonight Show” allowed Letterman to draw a huge following of young, largely college-age viewers seeking an alternative to the somewhat staid Carson model.
Letterman introduced the country to fringe musical acts that might never have received an opportunity on “The Tonight Show.”
His humor was undeniably intelligent, but also at times surrealistic and goofy. He pioneered segments called Stupid Pet Tricks and Stupid Human Tricks. He tossed watermelons and other objects off a five-story building; at one point, he wore a suit made of Velcro and jumped onto a Velcro-covered wall, sticking in place. He turned bizarre characters like Larry “Bud” Melman and Biff Henderson into cult celebrities.
Letterman started his career as a radio talk show host and TV weatherman in Indiana. In the mid-1970s he moved to Los Angeles, performing stand-up comedy and writing jokes for (at the time more famous) stand-up comic Walker of “Good Times” fame. Eventually he caught the eye of “The Tonight Show” and Carson, performing several times on the show and becoming a regular guest host starting in 1978.
NBC gave Letterman his own show following Carson; “Late Night with David Letterman” debuted on Feb. 1, 1982. Letterman’s first guest that night? Bill Murray, the Twain award recipient in 2016.
On Sunday, Murray predictably stole the show with a surreal performance dressed as an Elizabethan monarch.
Murray said the perks of the Twain award elevate you above normal humans.
“You’re not exactly a god but you’re way up there,” he said. “You will be able to walk up to any man or woman on the street, take a lit cigar out of their mouth and finish it. You’ll be able to board any riverboat in this country.”
Murray then announced he was hungry and had a burger brought to him on stage. He then ordered platters of burgers delivered to Letterman’s balcony and cajoled Letterman’s son Harry to toss a pickle to the masses below.

The Walt Disney Co. on Tuesday lifted its ban of Los Angeles Times reporters and critics from its press screenings after a widespread backlash prompted several media outlets to announce their own boycotts of Disney movies.
In a statement Tuesday, Disney said it was restoring access to the newspaper after “productive discussions with the newly installed leadership” at the Los Angeles Times. Disney had barred the Times from its screenings after the paper published a two-part investigative series on the company’s business dealings in Anaheim.
Disney’s punitive measures against the Times led to many outlets refusing advance coverage of the studio’s films, including The New York Times, the Boston Globe and The A.V. Club. Four prominent film critics groups announced Tuesday that they would bar Disney films from receiving awards consideration.
The ban’s withdrawal Tuesday ended an unusual clash between Hollywood’s arguably most powerful studio and the media outlets that regularly write about its movies.
The Los Angeles Film Critics Association, the New York Film Critics Circle, the Boston Society of Film Critics and the National Society of Film Critics all said that wouldn’t consider Disney films for their year-end awards. The critics’ groups noted that it was “admittedly extraordinary” to “take any action that might penalize film artists for decisions beyond their control.”
“But Disney brought forth this action when it chose to punish The Times’ journalists rather than express its disagreement with a business story via ongoing public discussion,” the statement continued. “Disney’s response should gravely concern all who believe in the importance of a free press, artists included.”
The New York Times said in a statement Tuesday that it wouldn’t attend preview screenings of Disney films while the LA Times can’t, saying Disney’s move is a “dangerous precedent and not at all in the public interest.”
Disney on Friday said that the Times series in September detailing what it characterized as a complicated and increasingly tense relationship between Anaheim and the company showed “a complete disregard for basic journalistic standards.” It added that the Times published a “biased and inaccurate series, wholly driven by a political agenda.”
Daniel Miller, the Times reporter who wrote the series, tweeted that “Disney never asked for a correction.” The newspaper declined further comment.
With the ban concluded, critics said they would return to business as usual. Disney’s upcoming films are the Pixar release “Coco” and “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
“See you guys at the Coco screening,” wrote New York Times critic A.O. Scott.
As a kid from a big, struggling Italian-American family in San Pedro in the 1950s, Phil Trani was so poor he couldn’t afford basketball shoes and had to play in his stocking feet at the nearby Boys Club.
But he loved going to the club, following in the footsteps of his four older brothers.
“I used to wait an hour for the club to open,” Trani told an overflow crowd attending the annual Long Beach Boys & Girls Clubs Youth of the Year dinner at the Hotel Maya Wednesday. “That place was like my second home. I spent the best years of my life there, shoes or no shoes.”
The audience gave Trani a rousing and prolonged standing ovation as he walked to the podium to receive the John Wallace Dream Maker Award from Don Rodriguez, CEO of the BGC.
It was an emotional moment for the popular Trani as friends and family honored him for his fund-raising efforts to help needy kids like he once was. In the past three years the Phil Trani Charity Golf Tournament tournament has raised more than $180,000 for the clubs.
“Oh, my,” he said into the microphone, overcome with the applause. And, in his humble way, after thanking those who helped with the golf tournament, he told the audience, “I’m just an average guy in a world of superstars like yourselves.”
Trani may call himself an average guy, but he is a superstar in the restaurant business in Long Beach. He comes from a culinary dynasty carved out by his father, Filippo, who came to the United States in 1913 with $20 in his pocket. Filippo opened the Majestic Cafe, a small restaurant, on Beacon Street in San Pedro in 1925. It started a Trani tradition, passing the restaurant business from father to sons for several decades.
After his father died, Phil Trani started his own restaurant at 3490 Long Beach Blvd. in 1989. Two restaurants, Michael’s and Mr. Robert’s, had been at that location before Trani started his restaurant.
Trani’s has flourished, becoming a popular eatery for famous athletes and other celebrities, a tradition started by his father and brothers at the San Pedro restaurant.
You can find hundreds of autographs on Trani’s Wall of Fame in his kitchen, including legends like Jerry West of the Los Angeles Lakers, Tommy Lasorda of the Los Angeles Dodgers and Phil Jackson of the Chicago Bulls.
When I asked Trani who was the most famous person ever to enter his restaurant and sign his autograph, he paused and hesitated, saying how tough that was to answer. He finally said John Wooden, the late UCLA basketball coach, with baseball player Pete Rose a close second.
Doug Krikorian, former Press-Telegram columnist, called Trani “the last of the old saloon keepers, who often drinks with his customers and engages them in vibrant conversation.”
John Morris, another well known restaurateur at Boathouse on the Bay, was at the dinner Wednesday and said he continues to be amazed at how much time Trani puts in cooking and schmoozing with customers. “It’s a tough grind, but that’s why he’s been so successful.” Morris said.
Trani is 72 now but, despite aching knees, he still puts in long hours and doesn’t envision retiring any time soon.
“I love what I’m doing,” he told me. He also said he enjoys helping young kids at the Boys & Girls Clubs.
He posed proudly with the three finalists for this year’s Youth of the Year honor: Brooklynn Lodevico (Poly High School); Delance Simpson (Millikan High School), and Tina Stewart (Cabrillo High School). The winner was Lodevico who plans on attending San Francisco State University majoring in human and social services. She will represent the Long Beach clubs in the state and national competition for Youth of the Year.
Each of the finalists will receive $5,000 in scholarships. In prior years only the winner received $5,000 with the runners-up receiving $2,500. However, the voting was so close this year, Kam Babaoff, managing director of Ensemble Investments, which owns the Hotel Maya, raised his hand and said he would donate an additional $2,500 to each of the runner-ups.
“That’s great,” Trani said. “There are so many kids needing help. They’re our future. I’m glad I’m able to pay back a little for all the help I got from people at the Boys & Girls Clubs when I was a little kid.”

LOS ANGELES — The group behind the Golden Globe awards says its Miss Golden Globe honoree will now be known as the Golden Globe Ambassador.
Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Meher Tatna says the move was made in order to help expand the role to help recognize the association’s philanthropic efforts throughout the year. The honoree is traditionally the child of a celebrity. This year’s Golden Globe Ambassador is Simone Garcia Johnson, the daughter of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his ex-wife, producer Dany Garcia.
The announcement was made at a party in Los Angeles on Wednesday night. The 16-year-old Garcia Johnson has been recently signed by IMG Models.
Jay-Z is the leader of the 2018 Grammy Award nominations in a year where the top four categories are heavily dominated by rap and R&B artists, giving the often overlooked genres a strong chance of winning big.
The Recording Academy announced Tuesday that Jay-Z is nominated for eight honors, including album, song, and record of the year. Bruno Mars is also nominated for the big three, while Kendrick Lamar — who earned seven nominations — and Childish Gambino are also up for major awards.
Jay-Z’s personal and revealing album, “4:44,” is nominated for album of the year alongside Mars’ 90s-inspired R&B adventure “24K Magic,” Lamar’s hard-hitting rap masterpiece “DAMN.,” Gambino’s funk-soul project “Awaken My Love!” and Lorde’s critically acclaimed pop album, “Melodrama.”
Record of the year nominees include Jay-Z’s “The Story of O.J.,” a song about blackness and managing money that also references O.J. Simpson; Mars’ Top 5 hit, “24K Magic”; Lamar’s No. 1 smash, “Humble”; Gambino’s “Redbone,” which peaked at No. 12 on the Hot 100; and the year’s biggest hit, “Despacito,” by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber.
“Despacito” is also nominated for song of the year — a songwriter’s award — along with Mars’ No. 1 hit, “That’s What I Like”; the title track from Jay-Z’s “4:44”; rapper Logic’s suicide prevention anthem, “1-800-273-8255”; and “Issues” by Julia Michaels, the singer who has written hits for Bieber, Selena Gomez and other pop stars.

Jay-Z was nominated for awards in three of the top four categories and is up against Childish Gambino’s “Awaken, My Love!,” Kendrick Lamar’s “Damn.,” Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” and Lorde’s “Melodrama.” Jay-Z, Mars and Lamar have all had massive success in 2017, especially on tour. Jay-Z’s 4:44 Tour, which wraps up on Thursday, Dec. 21 at the Forum in Inglewood, is slated to be his highest grossing solo run ever.
For record of the year, Lamar’s “Humble” made the cut, along with Jay-Z’s “The Story of O.J.,” Mars’ album title track “24K Magic,” Childish Gambino’s “Redbone” and the inescapable Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber cut, “Despacito.”
“Despacito” is also nominated for song of the year, against Jay-Z’s “4:44,” Mars’ “That’s What I Like,” Julia Michaels’ “Issues” and rapper Logic’s “1-800-273-8255,” a track that features the national suicide hotline number in the title and features vocals by Alessia Cara and Khalid.
The one thing keeping the seemingly unstoppable Jay-Z from dominating the top four categories is in ineligibility to be included in best new artist. Those nominees include Alessia Cara, Khalid, Lil Uzi Vert, Julia Michaels and SZA.
Though they didn’t make the cut in the top categories several other monstrous albums that were eiligible for nomination were recognized in various other categories including Imagine Dragons’ “Evolve,” Kesha’s comeback album, “Rainbow,” Lady Gaga’s “Joanne” and Ed Sheeran’s “Divide.” One of the biggest snubs in pop music is that Katy Perry was left out entirely. She has been nominated several times in the past, however, her new album, “Witness,” just didn’t make the cut.
Though her album “Reputation” was released after the cut off for the 2018 Grammy nominations, Taylor Swift still finds herself with a nomination for best country song as the songwriter of Little Big Town’s hit, “Better Man.” The song is also up for best country duo/group performance. Country darling Chris Stapleton also garnered two nominations including best country solo performance for “Either Way” and best country album for “From A Room: Volume 1.”

NEW YORK — In nominations announced Wednesday, the 24th Screen Actors Guild Awards heartily endorsed the Frances McDormand-led revenge drama “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” offered swift redemption for the Golden Globes-overlooked romantic comedy “The Big Sick” and left many Oscar favorites empty handed.
Martin McDonaugh’s “Three Billboards” led all films with four nominations, including best ensemble, and acting nods for McDormand, Sam Rockwell and Woody Harrelson. That adds to the movie’s strong awards portfolio, including six Golden Globes nods and the often predictive audience award at the Toronto International Film Festival.
The other nominees for best ensemble were: Greta Gerwig’s mother-daughter tale “Lady Bird,” Jordan Peele’s horror hit “Get Out,” Dee Rees’ Jim Crowe-era drama “Mudbound” and “The Big Sick,” which was shut out Monday by the Golden Globes.
In the television categories, HBO’s California murder mystery “Big Little Lies” dominated as expected with five nominations, including best ensemble. Netflix’s “Stranger Things” and “GLOW” fared well, with four nods apiece. The steaming service led all networks with 19 total nominations.
As one of the steadiest bellwethers of the Academy Awards, the SAG Awards have considerable sway over the Oscar race. Actors make up the largest branch of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, though the guild’s ranks are much larger. Only about 1,000 of their 160,000 members are in the film academy. Last year, “Hidden Figures” upset eventual Oscar-winner “Moonlight” as well as “Manchester by the Sea” for the SAG Awards’ best ensemble. But it’s been 22 years since a film that wasn’t at least nominated for best ensemble at the SAG Awards won best picture at the Oscars.
The Oscars race is so far considered wide open, and by winnowing the field down to five movies for its top award on Wednesday, the Screen Actors left out many frontrunners. Steven Spielberg’s Pentagon Papers drama “The Post” was shut out entirely, including its lauded stars, Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks.
After topping the Globes with seven nods Monday, Guillermo del Toro’s “The Shape of Water” missed out on the ensemble category, but still landed nods for Sally Hawkins and Richard Jenkins. Critical favorites “Call Me By Your Name” and “The Florida Project” each emerged with just a solo acting nomination. Notably passed over was “Call Me By Your Name” co-star Armie Hammer.
Instead, “The Big Sick,” an autobiographical comedy scripted by real-life couple Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, followed up its rough Globes morning with not just a best ensemble nod but a supporting actress nomination for Holly Hunter.
“Now we have to go tell our real parents that they aren’t actually nominated,” Nanjiani and Gordon said in a joint statement.
Along with McDormand and Hawkins, the best actress nominees were: Judi Dench (“Victoria & Abdul”), Saoirse Ronan (“Lady Bird”) and Margo Robbie (“I, Tonya”). Ronan was joined by her “Lady Bird” cast mate Laurie Metcalf, who was nominated for best supporting actress.
The best actor nominees were: Timothee Chalamet (“Call Me By Your Name”), James Franco (“The Disaster Artist”), Daniel Kaluuya (“Get Out”), Gary Oldman (“Darkest Hour”) and Denzel Washington (“Roman J. Israel, Esq.”). Notably left out was Daniel Day Lewis in “Phantom Thread,” a performance the actor has said is his final one.
Along with “Stranger Things,” the nominees for best ensemble in a drama series were “The Crown,” ”Game of Thrones, “The Handmaid’s Tale” and “This Is Us.” Up for best ensemble in a comedy series are: “Black-ish,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” ”Glow,” ”Orange Is the New Black” and “Veep.”
Winners will be announced during a January 21 telecast hosted by Kristen Bell. Morgan Freeman will be presented with the awards’ lifetime achievement honor.
It’s almost time for the Golden Globes. The 75th edition of the event is set to air on NBC Sunday Jan. 7 at 5 p.m. (assuming, of course, that you didn’t score an invite).
While not as prestigious as the Oscars or as raucous as the Grammys, this Hollywood Foreign Press Association event might just be Hollywood’s most entertaining night out, as movie and TV stars hobnob and drink champagne as the awards are doled out.
Take a look back at some of the big stars who’ve attended the event over the decades, from Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep.

NEW YORK — Guillermo del Toro’s lavish monster romance “The Shape of Water” fished out a leading 13 nominations, Greta Gerwig became just the fifth woman nominated for best director and “Mudbound” director of photography Rachel Morrison made history as the first woman nominated for best cinematography in nominations announced Tuesday for the 90th annual Academy Awards.
Oscar voters put forward nine best-picture nominees: “The Shape of Water,” “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” “Lady Bird,” “Get Out,” “Darkest Hour,” “The Post,” “Dunkirk,” “Call Me By Your Name” and “Phantom Thread.”
“The Shape of Water” came just shy of tying the record of 14 nominations by “All About Eve,” “Titanic” and “La La Land.” Del Toro’s dark fantasy scored a wide array for nominations for its cast (Sally Hawkins, Richard Jenkins, Octavia Spencer), its sumptuous score (by Alexander Desplat) and technical craft.
“It is a privilege to tell such stories and to be able to make films that show there is a life beyond the life that people know — one that is not always seen,” said best actress nominee Hawkins.
The cascading fallout of sexual harassment scandals throughout Hollywood put particular focus on the best director category, which for many is a symbol of gender inequality in the film industry. Gerwig follows only Lina Wertmuller, Jane Campion, Sofia Coppola and Kathryn Bigelow, the sole woman to win (for “The Hurt Locker”).
Also nominated for best director was “Get Out” director Jordan Peele. He becomes the fifth black filmmaker nominated for best director, and the third to helm a best-picture nominee, following Barry Jenkins last year for “Moonlight.” Following Warren Beatty (“Heaven Can Wait”) and James L. Brooks (“Terms of Endearment”), he’s the third person to receive best picture, director and writing nods for his first feature film.
Though all of the front-runners — Frances McDormand (“Three Billboards”), Gary Oldman (“Darkest Hour”), Allison Janney (“I, Tonya”), Sam Rockwell (“Three Billboards”) — landed their expected nominations, there were surprises.
Denzel Washington (“Roman J. Israel, Esq.”) was nominated for best actor, likely eclipsing James Franco (“Disaster Artist”). Franco was accused of sexual misconduct, which he denied, just days before Oscar voting closed. The category’s other nominees were: Daniel Day-Lewis (“Phantom Thread”), Timothee Chalamet (“Call Me By Your Name”) and Daniel Kaluuya (“Get Out”).
Christopher Plummer, who replaced Kevin Spacey in Ridley Scott’s “All the Money in the World,” also sneaked into best supporting actor category. Plummer was added to the film in reshoots little more than a month before the film’s release.
Perhaps most unexpected was the broad success of Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Phantom Thread,” which scored not just a best actor nod for what Day-Lewis has said is his final performance and best supporting actress for Lesley Manville, but also nominations for best picture and Anderson’s direction.
Anderson likely displaced not only Steven Spielberg (“The Post”) but Martin McDonagh, the director of the film many have tapped to win best picture, “Three Billboards.” His absence is a major knock for a film that has endured the harshest backlash of the contenders, with many claiming it’s out of touch in matters of race.
Still, “Three Billboards” scored seven nominations Tuesday, behind only “The Shape of Water” and Christopher Nolan’s “Dunkirk.” The World War II epic, thus far little-honored in Hollywood’s awards season, emerged especially strong with Oscar voters, taking eight nominations, many of them in technical categories.
Though the favorites are largely independent films, a number of blockbusters fared well, including five nods for “Blade Runner 2049,” four for “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” three for “Baby Driver,” two for “Beauty and the Beast” and two for Pixar’s “Coco,” which is up for best animated feature. Still, Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman,” which became the highest grossing movie ever directed by a woman, failed to receive any Oscar nods despite an awards campaign.
But the box-office hit that carved the most unlikely path to the Oscars was “Get Out.” It opened back in February on Oscar weekend, and went on to pocket $254.7 million worldwide. It scored four nominations.
Though many minorities were still absent from the acting categories, the film academy, which has worked to diversify its membership, put forward a field of nominees almost as diverse as last year when “Moonlight,” “Fences” and “Hidden Figures” powered a rebuttal to the “OscarsSoWhite” backlash of the two years prior. Four black actors — Washington, Kaluuya, Spencer and Mary J. Blige (“Mudbound”) — are among the 20 acting nominees.
Meryl Streep, who stars as Washington Post publisher Katharine Graham in “The Post,” notched her 21st Oscar nomination. She was joined for best actress by McDormand, Hawkins, Saoirse Ronan (“Lady Bird”) and Margot Robbie (“I, Tonya”).
“I am honored beyond measure by this nomination for a film I love, a film that stands in defense of press freedom, and inclusion of women’s voices in the movement of history,” Streep said in a statement. “Proud of the film, and all her filmmakers. Thank you from a full heart.”
Last year’s Oscars broadcast, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, drew 32.9 million viewers for ABC, a four percent drop from the prior year. More worrisome, however, was a steeper slide in the key demographic of adults aged 18-49, whose viewership was down 14 percent from 2016.
Though the show ran especially long, at three hours and 49 minutes, it finished with a bang: the infamous envelope mix-up that led to “La La Land” being incorrectly announced as the best picture before “Moonlight” was crowned.
This year, the academy has prohibited the PwC accountants who handle the envelopes from using cellphones or social media during the show. The accounting firm on Monday also unveiled several reforms including the addition of a third balloting partner in the show’s control room. But the movie business has larger accounting problems. Movie attendance hit a 24-year low in 2017 despite the firepower of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2.”
It was a dominant if bittersweet day for 20th Century Fox. Its specialty label, Fox Searchlight, is behind both “Three Billboards” and “The Shape of Water,” and Fox released The Post.” Yet those wins may soon count for the Walt Disney Co., which last month reached a deal to purchase Fox for $52.4 billion.
Both Amazon and Netflix failed to crack the best picture category but earned nominations elsewhere. Netflix’s “Mudbound” scored four nods and Amazon’s “The Big Sick” grabbed a nomination for Holly Hunter, best supporting actress, and Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon’s original screenplay about their real-life romance.
“At times we worried it would be insurmountable, or would rip us apart, or even worse — that no one would like it,” Nanjiani and Gordon said in a joint statement. “The fact that it connected with audiences is exhilarating, and this nomination proves that our love is real. We have decided to stay married.”
